Image Facebook-like tagging. Want to help !

Hi ! I’m new with buddypress and with bp-album but now I’m building some social network and wish to implement facebook-like “people on foto” tagging. I have seen than bp-album has it on very inicial state. How can I help to make it work ? How can I participate and where from is it better to start ?

Thanx @paulhastings0 !!!
As I see thous guys @foxly and @francescolaffi are main developers of this project ?
Can some of you explain me how to start participate ? Need I to be registered on your google-code project ? Now I have downloaded the sources from SVN but it is READ ONLY.
And, if it’s possible, somebody tell me in two words what functions and classes are useful for me and which files to start from.

@dmikam checked in this morning via Skype, and it looks like he has working code for the tagging interface. The only UI element left is a “friend picker” (like FaceBook has) …and @dmikam has just started work on it. Hopefully he will get that code finished within the next few days.

I have booked next week for another dev sprint on bp-media …so if everything lines-up, I should be able to review @dmikam‘s code and get it in the trunk by the end of next week.

Take a look at all the open tasks https://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/issues/list pick anything you like, contact me to request a “lock” on a task, and get coding! Or, if you want a specific feature (and want to code it yourself), send me an email and we’ll coordinate with you to get it added.

This is great news, as the only two reasons I haven’t used this plugin is because it did not have group albums and photo tagging. Are both of these going to be included in the .1.9 beta release?

Also to add (I only wish I was a programmer so I could help you guys!) I have seen both of the examples the original poster add regarding the photo tagging a few months ago, hopefully your version will be a much more improved one. Maybe with the tagging you could make it a dot tagging system like http://stippleit.com/ which is much cleaner and easier to use. This way multiple objects can easily be tag by using a dot, instead of some box shape that looks funky or having to drag your mouse over the picture to tag it. Placing a dot will give the tagging more accuracy and keep it clean and profressional. They also have a cool feature which you can tag your facebook and twitter friends in the pictures that is explained more here http://stippleit.com/blog. I know that will put this photo album over big time.

We already have a completed Flash/AS3 app coded for this that’s ready to test …we just need to finish the plugin’s core classes before we can fully implement it. Still, I uploaded your code to the work unit in case it might come in useful for something else later.

We’re always looking for new coders. Perhaps you’d like to join our team?
